Hello,
I recently became the proud owner of a great plot of land and would like to get inspired by your ideas on what alternatives to the classic single-family house are possible according to the local development plan.
The plot is approximately 22m (east-west) x 26m (north-south) (about 572 sqm (6150 sq ft)),
with a direct north/south orientation and access from the north. It is a corner plot with only one immediate neighbor to the west.
The following requirements apply:
- Single-story construction
- Eaves height 4m (13 ft)
- Gable roof, hip roof 28°-45°, or shed roof 15°-45°
- Roof tiles red or anthracite
- At least 50% exposed masonry in red or anthracite
- Site coverage ratio (floor area ratio) 0.3
The basic idea is a single-family house with a 45° gable roof (about 11 x 9m (36 x 30 ft)) and a garage/carport on the boundary with the neighbor to the west. Living space of 140-160 sqm (1500-1720 sq ft), open kitchen, guest room on the ground floor, guest toilet with shower.
I am not really a fan of many sloped walls. What kind of knee wall height can be achieved with an eaves height of 4m (13 ft)? What house designs are possible with these roof types?
I am grateful for all ideas...

In Bavaria, in my opinion, an attic is considered a full story if more than two-thirds of the area exceeds a height of 230cm (7 ft 7 in).I thought in Bavaria there are no more partial stories.Since 1998, there have been no full stories in the Baybo; they are now simply referred to as stories, so you are right.
However:
(7) As far as § 20 paragraph 1 of the Land Use Ordinance refers to state law for the definition of full stories, Article 2 paragraph 5 in the version valid until December 31, 2007, remains in effect in this regard.
And as far as I know, development plans must always be interpreted according to the laws in force at the time they were issued.

The living area on the upper floor, with a ceiling height of 2 meters (6.6 feet) or more, may only be up to two-thirds of the living area on the ground floor. (Lower Saxony)
This means that with a 4-meter (13.1 feet) eaves height, there is roughly a 1-meter (3.3 feet) knee wall at a 45-degree roof pitch (approximately).
This corresponds to your basic idea of a standard gable roof house.
If you want to experiment with a shed roof or a staggered shed roof, an architect can assist you with that.

Does single-story mean that the attic cannot be considered a full floor?
I have no idea how this is regulated in Lower Saxony...
I would tend to go for a bungalow with a basement partially above ground (1m (3 feet) above ground), topped with a low-pitched hip roof (I assume the author meant a pyramid roof here...).Unfortunately, a hip roof is not allowed! For a bungalow with a pyramid roof, the plot is probably too small if you want to have 140-160 m² (1500-1700 sq ft) of living space...
